Kitmap — he tirohanga whānui o ngā tūāhanga rangahau i roto i ngā whakahaere rangahau a te Kāwanatanga o Aotearoa
Research infrastructure is an area of the Research, Science and Innovation (RSI) system where there has historically been little visibility. The need for information in this space has been repeatedly identified in previous MBIE publications, and flagged as making it difficult to identify gaps, prioritise investments, and address the general needs of the sector.
We have awarded Gold Status for research excellence to a project that is revolutionising the way x-ray technology will detect, diagnose and monitor many diseases, including cancer.
Set up in 2016, the New Zealand Space Agency is the lead government agency for space policy, regulation and business development.
An important aspect of the Kitmap project was not only to understand what infrastructure we have, but also how it is accessed and used. This includes who uses the infrastructure, how they get access to it, and how it is maintained. Information about access to infrastructures is also a key input for the future Kitmap online tool.
